What’s the Buzz with Media & Entertainment at Super Bowl City?

The hottest ticket for Media & Entertainment (M&E) this year is no doubt Super Bowl 50, hosted in Santa Clara, California in Silicon Valley this upcoming Sunday, February 7th. This year’s matchup poses new versus old…as in, the younger more dynamic Carolina Panther’s quarterback Cam Newton versus the veteran and reestablished Denver Bronco’s Peyton Manning. Either way they both represent Silicon Valley values…innovation, outside-of-the-box thinking, or reinvent and evolve for survival. How has the Media industry taken advantage of the latest and greatest in technologies offered to them by Silicon Valley?

With an estimated $12-billion-a-year-business during the 2014-2015 season, the National Football League (NFL) and it’s collective of 32 teams increased business by 14.3% from the previous season’s estimates. Imagine the amount of Big Data content the media and press create to keep the fans engage to capitalize on this market.
